The Riverside Chaucer: Reissued with a new foreword by Christopher Cannon

I intend to read and study the Prologue to the Canterbury Tales. I still have the edition of Chaucer's Poems by Walter W. Skeat (1962), but I wanted to buy a more recent edition of his poems. The Riverside Chaucer contains a lot of more recent information about the author, the time in which he lived etc. At the moment I am reading the chapter on the pronunciation of Chaucer's English, which is very useful. Conclusion: I am very satisfied with my purchase. Johan A. Hyde

A great educational text

The book condition was as expected and delivery was quick.

Bought a used edition from the marketplace: For anyone studying this, the paper copy is essential (and worth the money) as there are so many explanatory notes and contextual information included. I found this much more useful than any free online edition of the Canterbury Tales.

Useful for classes and middle English Chaucer.

brilliant and easy to read. great notes at the front too. used for both BA and MA course at university

Great service and book arrived in good condition. No problems at all, thank-you.

A wonderful read.

THIS BOOK ARRIVED WAAAAAAAY AHEAD OF THE EXPECTED DATE! Thank you so much You contributed to me receiving an A grade in my course that required this book!

This edition of Chaucer is a thick boy! Be prepared for a massive tome. It is very well made with high-quality paper and binding. The item arrived right on time and was in excellent condition. I have nothing but the most decent things to say about this book and the seller who sold it!

Aún siendo de segunda mano, no tenía ningun desperfecto demasiado notable. Todo genial para lo que necesito

Buch wie beschrieben, jedoch kam es in unmöglichem Zustand an. Es sah aus, als sei es im Lager 3 mal aus dem Schrank gefallen, Knicke im Einband und graue Dreckstreifen an den Ecken. Eine Unverschämtheit! Ich kaufe Bücher nur bei Amazon, wenn sie bei Thalia nicht schnell verfügbar sind und ich sie nicht verschenken möchte. Ist leider nicht zum ersten Mal eine Enttäuschung.

The sheer amount of prose and poetry here is extraordinary given the range of important official jobs GC had in his career and the fact that he wrote at a time before electric lighting and computers.
